realpoti Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) How many times this song was played live? I found this: It's one of the best performances I've ever seen by anyone. Magical. Edited March 23, 2010 by marlon_brando15
Graeme Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Not enough, it's far superior... much more heartfelt I think.
lizwontcry Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I like the lyrics to both versions but the alt. version is much more intense to me. It's definitely my all-time favorite song, either way.
axlstud Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I like the lyrics to both versions but the alt. version is much more intense to me. It's definitely my all-time favorite song, either way.never really realized it before, but Axl wears a St Louis Cardinals hat for about 3 seconds in the don't cry video
Opax Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I cant remember where I read this and it was probably a few years ago but I believe its only ever been played live twice.
Towelie Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 For some reason I never listen to that version. I've probably listened to it once. It just feels "alien" to me.
BatVin Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 How many times this song was played live? I found this: It's one of the best performances I've ever seen by anyone. Magical.Oh yes. Wish I wasn't baby by that time and could see them play in 1992 in Prague in front of 65 000 tousand other people. Its actually much more than the bigest crowd on this tour.It was huge. 65 000 tousand people even though the tickets had been the most expensive tickets in Czechoslovakia ever (yeah it actually was still Czechoslovakia, not Czech Republic). I really wish this could happen now.
LA_0013 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Cool clip. God Axl was just awesome back in the dayLA
guesswehavetowaitnsee Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Good Find. Always wondered if they played alt lyrics live.
MicEffecT Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah. I think this was the only time it has been played live. With audio or video sources anyways.
Amir Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) Yeah. I think this was the only time it has been played live. With audio or video sources anyways.There's another one on GNREvolution, with the bonus of Shannon Hoon on backing vocals as well.http://www.4shared.com/file/78259550/eb4c9254/8Dont_Cry_Alt_Lyrics_with_Shannon_Hoon__live_.htmlProbably the best Don't Cry I've ever heard.

danmak Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) i´d love to hear this version during current tour. they played it in prague during illusions tour, they could repeat it here again. Edited March 23, 2010 by danmak

Didn't know it was doe with an audience. Why did he mention 3 versions. Is he referring to the single with DC, DC Alt and DEMO?

His and Shannon's vocals on the "And if you're in need of someone.." bit are just unbelievable.

recklessroad Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 It was played live at the Forum in Los Angeles on 8/2/91
plonker88 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Marc! Good to see you back here Word of warning, if you value your sanity, avoid "Slash calls Axl 'Fucking great'" topic.
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) It was played at Inglewood in August 2, 1991 and in Czechoslovakia in May 20, 1992. Edited March 23, 2010 by Satanisk_Slakt
JesusisSavior Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Not enough, it's far superior... much more heartfelt I think. Why ofcourse! Slashman brings out things in Axl we will never see again if they continue their idiocracy.
pongi Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I watched the video, listened, and must say that Axl's voice today is very very very far from that one. Not only energy was there, but it was something very pleasant to listen to.
